Does it pick small bits of debris up when they're right against the baseboard/toe molding? My Swiffer trapper doesn't.

So far, yes my Bissell has picked up the mall pieces of depris along the molding. Of course once in a while it misses something but for the most part it does.

Yes, it does. If I have something stubborn, it's very easy to convert to hand vac and get even closer to the baseboard.

The default dust collection could be more accurately called a 'dust sampler'. Pretty useless. On my saw, I removed the useless tiny plastic scoop thing and fabricated my own custom scoop out of thin cardboard and masking-tape. It actually looks rather like the scoop on the Festool Kapex, and works quite well, considering. Then i hook up my shopvac to the saw.

The dust bag does catch sawdust, but not all of the dust. It does cut down on the sawdust better than it would without it. It does have to be emptied frequently, as it is undersized if you plan on doing much sawing. I have thouht an old pair of ladies hose may work as good if not better, but I don't know if they would hold up. You may try that first.

The rake also picks up fibers from the carpet itself. I am wondering myself whether it is good for the carpet or is going to thin out the carpet in the long run.

I have not and do not use a swiffer so I am unable to provide an answer to your question. I can tell you that I vacuum my hardwood floor prior to cleaning and then use Bona hardwood floor cleaner with the BonaKemi microfiber cleaning pad. I feel it cleans the floor and doesn't appear to leave any particles (at least not that I can see). You do need to make sure you rinse the cleaning pad while cleaning and throw it in the washing machine to keep it clean (this will also avoid having streaks next time you use it). Hope this helps.

Yes I have picked and mulched very small branches. I have not picked up heavier debris with it.

The Swiffer is capable of holding a LOT of dust, But if your ceiling fan is anything like my ceiling fan, it doesn't get dusted very often. When I haven't been using the fan and haven't dusted it in a while, the Swiffer pad can get overloaded and just push the dust it cant grasp off onto whatever is below. But I take responsibility for that, for not remembering to dust it often enough.

It picks up a lot of dust but only minimally disperses it into the air. I was amazed of the dirt it picked up after sweeping a spot that I thought was clean.

HI Judy, it does a fair job on small particles like needles and tiny branches, but kinda pushes the dust and dirt into a pile. I end up getting the broom and dust pan to sweep up the remnants that the spin sweep leaves behind. I use mine for the driveway and sidewalk close to a pine tree. I rate this item as a three, because it is a whole lot faster than sweeping the entire space with a push broom.

Hey Fred .. for me it does not reach these areas .. unless I move my feet around in slightly different angles ... but even then it dosnt catch these areas very well ... but otherwise, it does a super job on bottoms and sides of feet ...

It catches pretty good from pets hair to dust. Howevere, it cannot sweep out everything.

At first there is a good bit, but it sweeps or vacuums up quite easily. It's a small price to pay for the pleasure it gives my Elliott, and after the first few weeks the debris becomes less and less. It's a great find and I'm ordering a second one!

It doesn't get every bit, but it does better than most vacuums I have had in the past. I haven't tried the furniture brush yet, I suspect it will perform about the same.

It picks up a little bit of everything. It will pick up pine needles and grass that has been cut. You can adjust height as wel.

I have used my rake to "fluff up" spots where I have had boxes or heavy kids toys and its worked well. It might take some time and a few "fluffs" but I love mine !

Sort of. It will take the dust off if there are large clumps or bigger areas, but you will need something closer to a Swiffer. Also, the broom head does not come off (at least in my experience) so getting into narrow places is difficult.

Yes it does as the others have answered but I've never had occasion to use it as I pick up only dry material. The one thing I wish they would have done was made a handle on top so you can pick up the vac with one hand, you have to use both hands. I made a handle on top out of nylon webbing and sheetrock screws but I it would have been nicer if it had come that way.
